nurse baby
I actually dropped to rank 15 because of trying to learn nurse. Why am I still getting OOO red rankers...
I do feel like i'm somewhat improving at blinks out in the open, it's the jungle gym prediction blink that I miss or i guess wrong when i LOS.

How long have you been playing? Best advice is to be reactionary instead of making a ton of predictions. You WILL have to make a lot of predictions, that's the nature of nurse, but I've been playing a long time and I've played against a ton of really good nurses and as nurse in red ranks for years. The best nurses I've seen blink to where the survivor broke LOS then use the second blink to secure the hit. Never swing unless you are certain you will secure a hit because you will sometimes just lose a chase. She takes a good amount of practice and you really have to understand survivor movements. At jungle gyms just walk (i know sounds stupid but trust me) until you see them then blink to the corner they turn and they will either be waiting for you at the corner or they will have kept running then just either hit them or use your second blink to get the hit. Hopefully this helps but you WILL have to make predictions and you can't always choose correctly.

You must be good at guessing to be a good Nurse.

See this is a big misconception about the nurse , you always want to try and blink where you last saw the survivor or right behind them , the most important thing to identify when playing nurse is, is the survivor a double backer or does he full send it in the direction he's running? Also choose your blinks wisely and let yourself recharge to 2 blinks it's very easy when starting out to get carried away and waste blinks when you haven't recovered yet

Nurse is the hardest killer to play. If you really want to get good at her you're just gonna need to keep practicing. And as for the red ranks with OoO as you claim that's just matchmaking being matchmaking.

If a swf of red ranks are waiting long enough and MM can't find someone their rank it just throws the first killer available to them.

Actually, last night I had matches that felt my speed. I didn't dominate nor did I feel like I was mismatched.
I'm also trying to learn nurse while drinking because why the F not LOL.

I'm gonna keep this in mind, I get spun once I lose LOS.

Stridor + Whispers + (Nurses Calling / or STBFL) + Spies from the shadows works well for me on Nurse. (in fact I can't do without Whispers)
Just P3'd Nurse and I've yet to get Whispers rank 1 again and I'm struggling for it. It's a really handy perk for her as you can waste a lot of time with such a low mobility killer if your in an area without Survivors. It's good to know on her if your barking up the right tree.

I'm running BBQ, nurses calling, spies from the shadows and tinkerer. None of them are at tier 3 yet. I may try whispers...but it's not at tier 3 either. I P1 her and am planning to P3 her just because.

Nurse is not as good aa people think. Former nurse main here.

Yeah perks like Stridor and Whispers aren't worth slotting till T3 anyway.
Only reason I run BBQ is for BP. People say it's OP for the aura reading but there are way more OP perks for that (like Nurses Calling which nobody seems to complain about lol)

I'll sort of add to what this guy is saying - tracking is huge on Nurse for a reason because you're slowly traversing the map while blinking around to try and make use of your high chase potential. The faster you can find hiding survivors to down them instantly - the more pressure you are creating.
Infectious Fright is basically a core perk on her due to the immense pressure she generates by downing 2~3 people at a time in an area since the better you get the faster the chases just end (or never start?).
Corrupt Intervention is a helpful early game perk to narrow the field and I run it occasionally instead of Whispers. I do completely agree that Whispers 3 is immensely helpful as a nurse but many of the better nurses just pick a few gens they can patrol (giving up the far ones) and only spend a few seconds searching an area they suspect. Whispers helps you find those immersed survivors trying to hide out and wait for hatch if that's your thing though.
I am a huge fan of I'm All Ears due to the aura reveal and instant blinking to smack someone without any prediction at all. It gets you some free sure hits that you would otherwise have to 50/50 on or waste an additional blink at least to gather information (sometimes having to wait for a 2nd blink charge when the perk just lets your single charge blink result in a down). The cooldown is usually fine per chase unless you're chaining off infectious again...
Personally I run the brown addon Metal Spoon because it replaces Stridor (both 100% louder grunts) for 60s whenever you land your first hit. Hearing a pin point grunt can serve like IAE for downs without the prediction... but frees up a perk slot. Dealing with a good survivor with Iron Will and LOS can extend chases for precious seconds that isn't necessary if you just have Metal Spoon/Stridor. I prefer the Spoon+Pinecone as with the recovery time is enough to help get around the map faster too that I don't feel the need to run cooldown addon too. More importantly this opens up the ability for me to run BBQ and Chili for more Bloodpoints and some additional tracking as well.
The other 2 addons types that really help are Yellow/Green Blink Recovery Time (Dark Cincture, Fragile Wheeze) or yellow Pine cone post-Blink Fatigue after chain blink (The -1s Catatonic Boy's Treasure NOT the green -0.25s Ataxic Respiration) addon. If you're still BRAND new then Plaid Flannel to see blink target location can help but drop it once you're done a few matches with that.
Edit: Forgot to mention Nurse's Calling and Sloppy Butcher are easy new player replacements to any of the above to help the game in their own way - though a bit more predictable with NC. Expose perks feel like overkill and usually unnecessary but if you want to have fun you can mess with those too

I feel your pain.
Took me 40 levels of Nurse to even start grasping her, and she is still frustrating to play. It feels like any survivor worth their salt knows exactly how to bait and juke her, and way to many maps see my teleports either fail or get me stuck in terrain.

Try infectious fright, nurses calling, discordance, and corrupt intervention
That's the build I use on her, I prefer discordance over BBQ because the nurse is fast enough to take advantage of the information and stop the gen from being completed meanwhile basically handing you 2 survivors, so you have discordance to alert you to multiple survivors , then infectious and nurses to start a slugfest, and corrupt slows the game down just enough at the beginning and puts them in a certain area it's almost like crowd control if you would think of it like that because I'm controlling which gens can be started first

Could any of you share tips for indoor maps, like The Game and Lery's?
I've been playing nurse a lot lately and gotten better, to a point that I no longer dip below rank 4 when playing her, but indoor maps still cause a lot of trouble. Usually I'm able to score the first hit no problems, but after 2 blinks (and especially if I miss the hit afterwards) I get completely disoriented and lose them.
